This is Sandy wearing the first ever, toe-up socks I have ever knitted that I liked. Look at them closely. The one on the left was started with 6 cast on stitches and the one on the right with 8 cast on stitches. Otherwise, both used size 2 needles. Odd, really, how different the patterning on the foot looks. Still, she can tell which is for which foot when she wears them. 🙂

The colors in this picture are pretty close to actual, and I love them. I may have to get another skein from Gynx Yarn (her “Fairy” colorway on the strong sock base) since I had really wanted socks out of this color. Next time, I won’t knit the foot so long so I can keep them.

Next time they will be worn by her will be in Alaska at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer. Cool!!

They look great! I tend to do 2 socks at once on two different pairs of dpn’s, (I think they call that tandem knitting) that way I knit a little on one sock and a little on the other sock. It is the only way I can make them match!
